TRUE OR FALSE... a cloud is a collection of water convection currents?
Answer:
no.
now, this looks like a class homework question.
and there's no telling what you're supposed to have read.
but ordinary fog is a cloud that's down to earth low.
and there's no convection current associated with it.
on the other hand, in Yosemite, there's a mountain peak called Cloud's Rest.
there is always a cloud on the downwind side of the peak.
that cloud is formed because of the air current being forced up over the peak, and moisture condensing.
as the air descends on the other side, it warms, and the cloud disappears.
No, it's a convection current of warm air carrying water vapour up to a cooler area where it begins to condense and form clouds.
(Watch the steam leaving the spout of a kettle in the kitchen. For about 1 inch or so from the spout, you can't see the steam.
After that the rising steam begins to condense and form the white cloud of water vapour).
